“…In addition, it also causes suffering to the caregivers, including back discomfort, waist injury and so on [5]. Fortunately, various transfer nursing robots have been developed in these years and a series of studies have been carried out for the analysis of these robots, especially some of the devices have been clinically proved to be effective [6], [7].…”

Person transfer is a major problem for nursing in home and clinical, and this problem is becoming more prominent with the development of aging society and the change of population structure. In this article, a novel person transfer assist system named E-Pat (Easy-Patient Transfer), which can meet the transfer needs of the patient between beds, has been designed and analyzed. The importance and originality of this study are that it explores a theoretical design method for device to enhance patient comfortably when transferred, and put it into practice. The main tasks completed in this article include: (1) a prototype of the device is designed based on the principle of relative static contact point theory. In addition, the corresponding relationship between the human body pressure and the insertion angle is proposed, which provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of the mechanism; (2) based on STM32 (STMicroelectronics 32-bits Microcontroller) chip, the hardware circuit part of the device is designed. According to the transfer environment requirements of the device, the synchronization control algorithm of the device is designed and the experiment is carried out; (3) the performance evaluation of the device is carried out by means of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), through the research of a group of 30 volunteers, the performance of the system has been evaluated accurately, which provides a reference for the industrialization of the prototype. The whole research of this article proves that this kind of person transfer assist system has good performance, it can also reduce the burden of caregivers.INDEX TERMS Person transfer, mechanical design, synchronous control system, performance evaluation.

“…This way, the project contributes to quality care and support in the domestic and familiar living environment of those in need of care. The development of robotic systems for dependent persons requires a usercentred, iterative approach to ensure acceptance, experience and actual use by dependent persons [5]. Various qualitative and quantitative methods exist for the early involvement of users-often participatory design (PD) methods.…”

Becoming Human With Humanoid - From Physical Interaction to Social Intelligence

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mobile robots such as Aldebaran's humanoid Pepper currently find their way into society. Many research projects already try to match humanoid robots with humans by letting them assist, e.g., in geriatric care or simply for purposes of keeping company or entertainment. However, many of these projects deal with acceptance issues that come with a new type of interaction between humans and robots. These issues partly originate from different types of robot locomotion, limited human-like behaviour as well as limited functionalities in general. At the same time, animal-type robots-quadrupeds such as Boston Dynamic's WildCat-and underactuated robots are on the rise and present social scientists with new challenges such as the concept of uncanny valley. The possible positive aspects of the unusual cooperations and interactions, however, are mostly pushed into the background. This paper describes an approach of a project at a research institution in Germany that aims at developing a setting of human-robot-interaction and collaboration that engages the designated users in the whole process.

“…W ITH the introduction of service, social and collaborative robots, autonomous systems will play an increasing role in our daily lives [1]. The healthcare sector provides a huge variety of applications for these robotic systems to provide social interaction [2], on the one hand, and assistance to support and help healthcare workers, patients and the elderly, on the other hand [3], [4]. In this sense, understanding physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) in applications, such as rehabilitation [5], personal care [6], and exoskeletons [7], has become crucial to ensure safe interaction and promote trust.…”

Adaptive Underactuated Finger With Active Rolling Surface

This paper presents the design, prototype and kinematic model of a new adaptive underactuated finger with an articulated skin/surface that is able to bend and, at the same time, provides active rolling motion along its central axis while keeping the finger configuration. The design is based on a planar chain of overlapping spherical phalanxes that are tendon-driven. The finger has an articulated surface made of an external chain of hollow universal joints that can rotate via its central axis on the surface of the internal structure. The outer surface provides a second active Degree of Freedom (DoF). The two actuators, driving the bending and/or rolling motion, can be used independently. A set of experiments have been included to validate and measure the performance of the prototype for the grasping and rolling actions. The proposed finger can be built with a different number of phalanxes and sizes. A number of these fingers can be arranged along a palm structure resulting in a multi-finger robotic grasper for applications that require adaptation and in-hand manipulation capabilities such as pHRI.
